  16. OLD exploit! on Don't Hit That Back Button · · Score: 1

    http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_99383.htm

    Virus Characteristics
    This is a generic detection of malware which tries to exploit a Microsoft Internet Explorer vulnerability, which was discovered February 25, 2002. This exploit could result in an executable file being run without the users permission or knowledge, when visiting a web page or viewing HTML email message. This affects Internet Explorer 4.x and higher, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft Outlook Express.
    This vulnerability has incorrectly been called the "Popup Object Vulnerabilty", the "Data Source Object Vulnerability", the "XMLid Exploit", or the "DynHTML Exploit" but these are just the methods to insert the exploit into the HTML. The vulnerability occurs because Internet Explorer allows HTML in the "Internet Zone" to launch programs in the "My Computer Zone".

    A patch is available from Microsoft

  22. Who wants to bet? -- FUEL DUMP on Another Plane Down in New York · · Score: 1

    The "fuel dump" was total bollocks?

    The plane broke apart and there was NO time to dump fuel... the fuel was 'dumped' because there was a large explosion and the tanks were ruptured.

  23. Two crash sites? on Another Plane Down in New York · · Score: 1

    Why were there two crash sites?

    CNN has pictures of two crash sites and they state one is from the plane and one site is the engines...

    "American Airlines Flight 587 crashed on takeoff in the New York City borough of Queens. Two hundred firefighters and 44 trucks were dispatched to the scene of what New York Mayor Giuliani says are two crash sites -- one of the plane and one of an engine."

    If you look at the engine's crash site it's not "crash site" but more of just where the engine landed. Did anyone see any overhead shots of the Queens area on the news? Are there two burning areas? Did the whole plane break-up before hitting the ground?
